Reflow Soldering

If you want to read about an easy and inexpensive reflow soldering setup, read on: But first a parts list of the "odd" parts so that when you decide to follow my bread crumbs you won't have to dig to find them later:

1. IR Temperature Sensor from SparkFun - SEN-09570 - $19.95

2. Pansonic Opto Isolated Solid State Relay from Mouser # 769-AQN221VL - $28.28

3. Hotplate Aroma Elite HP-28 about $20 depending on where you get one, Walmart, Amazon but really almost any single burner electric hotplate (not warmer) should do.

4. Griddle of your choice. I got a low priced one at Target. Choose one that you can modify by reversing the handle like the one shown here. Also, make sure it's "flat" so that it sits on the hotplate without wobble. My "bargain" was a bit "bowed" and I had to bend it a bit to get it flat.

5. Arduino Duemilanove of whatever flavor suits you. If doing this from scratch I'd go with ModernDevice.com RBBB kit $13.00 and USB BUB Board $14.00.

As it happens I already had another Arduino but I really like the Modern Device approach to the popular microcontrollers. Rather than repeat the FTDI chip on every unit (which is only used for programming) they separate them allowing the individual micro-controllers to be less expensive. You buy just ONE BUB board and program all your processors with it (and once you get going with Arduino, you'll have more than one, especially at these prices.)

It had been years since I'd done serious PCB work. In particular, I had NO experience with Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and it seemed like more and more parts were available only in that format. I had a wifi project whose principal component was ONLY available in an SMT package so if I was going to play I had to learn how to do it. Fortunately, there is a LOT of good tutorial info out there on the web, most notably at the site www.sparkfun.com . From their tutorials as well as some of the YouTube links in their forums I found a wealth of hobbiest information that convinced me that SMT might just be possible for mere mortals. Not only was this the case, but it is now my FAVORITE way to work with PCB stuff. If you are just getting into SMD work I highly recommend the tutorials on the SparkFun site.

Aaron's Computer Rental Chain Settles FTC Spying Charges - Company Agrees to Stop Spying Through Rented Computers

This is one, I hadn't thought of... But, I'm not surprised at all!:(

Don

Company Agrees to Stop Spying Through Rented Computers

Back in May of 2011, we first shared the disturbing details of “rent-to-own” stores using laptop and desktop webcams to spy on their customers.

According to the FTC’s complaint (PDF), Aaron’s software tracked customers’ locations, took photos with the computers’ Webcams “including those of adults engaged in intimate activities,” and activated keyloggers that were able to capture login credentials for everything from e-mail to Facebook to banking sites.–cnet.com

Amazingly enough, it has taken more than 2 years for one of the companies at the center of a related lawsuit – has finally agreed to end this practice.

Yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission announced that Aaron’s has agreed to settle these charges and make sure franchisees cease the spying…
The proposed consent agreement [PDF] bars the retailer from using monitoring technology that captures keystrokes or screenshots, or activates the camera or microphone on a consumer’s computer, except to provide technical support requested by the consumer. If Aaron’s wants to install location-tracking software on a computer, it will be required to give clear notice and obtain express consent from consumers at the time of rental. Furthermore, unless a computer has been reported lost or stolen, Aaron’s will have to give notice to consumers when it activates any sort of tracking technology.

Memory - Making 128mb SIMMs from 64s

I've been wondering, for several years. If this could be done, myself. But, not having the experience, to know if there was much of a chance of it succeeding. I never tired it. But, this guy, over at http://jax184.com/ did it!:) He put together some old PC Memory and Made 128mb SIMMs from 64s. Check out how...

Don

Making 128mb SIMMs from 64s

Here we are, back with another project that would have been much more useful if I had undertaken it 15 years earlier.

If it's not already abundantly clear, I spend quite a lot of my time working with old computers. I do it for The Hackery, I do it for other collectors, and I do it for fun. But given that most of the stuff I'm working with is a minimum of 10 years obsolete, it can be quite the challenge to source the needed parts. Sometimes that means I have to make my own, as is the case today.

 

One of the joys of working at the Hackery is getting access to weird and wonderful things which people donate for recycling. Today's project, like many of mine, was inspired by one such donation. Amongst a load of gear from a point of sales company was a large antistatic bag filled with 64 megabyte 72 pin RAM SIMMs. For the uninitiated, this was the standard RAM used by PCs, Macs, Amigas, etc, through most of the '90s. And though sticks as large as 128mb exist, anything beyond 32 is vastly harder to find. So I was quite happy to get enough 64s to keep me stocked into the foreseeable future.

 

But then I noticed something interesting about the sticks. Though there were only memory chips on one side of the stick, both sides had solder pads. This suggested to me that the stick was wired to support up to 128mb. Given how rare 128mb sticks are, this was an exciting thought. And with so many to play with, it would be no great loss if I broke a few testing this theory. So that's what I did.

To start with I sorted them all out. There were two types, ones with Micron chips and ones with Spec Tek chips. I started with a pair of Micron-based sticks. From there I looked up the datasheets for the RAM chips and the little voltage regulator in the center. The datasheets told me that these were EDO chips, 4K refresh. It also said they ran at 3.3v, which explained the onboard regulator. Most computers which used 72 pin simms ran at 5v. Now, running 3.3v chips in a 5v system isn't ideal, even with a voltage regulator, because the IO voltages will still be a little bit off-spec. This is probably why the Micron-based sticks are actually wired to get ~4.1v from the regulator instead of 3.3v. Again, a bit hokey, but they worked in all the machines I tested them in, so I went ahead.

Firefox Web Browser, is Disabling Java, by Default

Well, My favourite Web Browser for the last... quite a few years now. Has made an admittedly good Security Change. After all... the US Government, had notices up on their Sites, all this last Summer. Don't Use Java! It's full of Vulnerabilities and can easily be used to Compromise your Computer. If I ran Windows and was worried about Windows Viruses and Malware. I would have taken their advice. But, since I run Linux on all of my computers. I kept on using Java, for the sheer convenience of having Web Sites work as intended. Now Firefox is Disabling Java, by Default. And you will have to enable it to let any Java Apps run on a Web Site, that you Visit. Boy, what a Pain, this may be... Check out this article, for more info...

Firefox community roiled by Java crackdown

Mozilla's decision to stand firm on a move to block Java except on a click-to-play basis has admins and developers frustrated.

By , Network World
October 22, 2013 01:59 PM ET

Network World - The Firefox web browser will, henceforth, require users to manually activate Java objects on sites that they visit, Mozilla has confirmed. The change is aimed at improving security and moving away from a dependence on proprietary plug-ins, but critics say it will cause untold headaches for developers, admins and less-technical end-users.

When a page that features Java elements is loaded, a red security warning will display in the address bar – clicking on this will provide the option of activating Java. Many of those opposed to the change say that less technically savvy users might either miss the warning or simply decline to click through, out of a fear that they are compromising their security.

[MORE SOFTWARE: Study: Despite bright, shiny rivals, good old Office still rules at work]

Java is a key underpinning of a vast amount of rich web content, including everything from games to line-of-business apps, despite its long-standing role as a major target for malicious online activity. Requiring users to click past a warning that the plugin may be unsafe before running any Java content could head off some security threats, but it’s also likely to break Java apps designed to run automatically and generally create a less convenient web experience for Firefox users.

At the center of the controversy is Mozilla engineering manager Benjamin Smedberg, who has remained resolute on the issue. He’s received the bulk of community outrage in a lengthy bug tracker thread, which features several lengthy diatribes about the disruptive nature of the change.

It was pointed out, as well, that Java is also currently blocked by default in Google Chrome, though one discussion participant argued that Google’s interface for activating Java – a simpler and more obvious drop-down bar that states “java needs your permission to run” – is more suitable.

Table Saw Kickback Video and SawStop Device and more

I was a Cabinet Maker, back in the 80's. And I've seen my share of Table Saw and Router Table Accidents. Almost every "Cut out Man", that I knew was missing a finger, thumb or had a "Nubby" of some kind. So, I never really wanted to be a Cut out Man. I had a few very scary accidents, my self. But, I was always very careful, about where I put my fingers and often used a "Push Stick" to Push those small pieces through the Table Saw or Router Table. There can actually be a Danger in using Push Stick or Commercially Mad Pus Blocks, though. They can easily slip and actually cause your Piece of Wood to get Crooked and cause a Kickback. I once had a Piece of 3/4in X 1-1/2in Oak, Kickback on an 8HP Router Table. It ended up stuck in the Wall, 10ft away!"O I had a small Piece of wood Kickback and hit me, right in the Pelvic Regen. But, I was wearing my Leather Nail Bag, at the time. And the thick Leather, saved me from nothing more than a Bruise. It's those small pieces, that are most dangerous. But, the are something that has to be done. So, any way, that it can be done more safely. Is all Right by Me. I spent many days, Ripping 10 to 16ft Raw Oak. Getting it ready to make Face Plate Styles. And then Running all of that wood through the Planer. I did everything from Cutting out Boxes, at times. To Cutting, Building, Sanding Cabinets and Doors. And I liked going out to install the Cabinets too. That got me out of the Shop, once in a while. I came across these Videos Today. They are on the Dangers of Kickbacks on a Table Saw and on a (new to me) device, called the SawStop. Check em out. They just might Save you a Finger...

Yocto - It's not an embedded Linux Distribution, it creates a custom one for you

This Project sounds very interesting, to me. I have three 1GHz WYSE Computers, that have WinTerm XP on them and I've been looking for a Linux Distro, that will work well on them and make them useful again. I installed Puppy Linux on one and it runs well. But, I don't have allot of use for Puppy. I would like to make them into Servers. But, with only a 512mb IDE SD card for a Disk. There are not too my Distros that are that small. I'll have to learn more about Yocto...

Don

About the Yocto Project


The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration project that provides templates, tools and methods to help you create custom Linux-based systems for embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. It was founded in 2010 as a collaboration among many hardware manufacturers, open-source operating systems vendors, and electronics companies to bring some order to the chaos of embedded Linux development.

As an open source project, the Yocto Project operates with a hierarchical governance structure based on meritocracy and managed by its chief architect, Richard Purdie, a Linux Foundation fellow. This enables the project to remain independent of any one of its member organizations, who participate in various ways and provide resources to the project.

Why use the Yocto Project? It's a complete embedded Linux development environment with tools, metadata, and documentation - everything you need. The free tools are easy to get started with, powerful to work with (including emulation environments, debuggers, an Application Toolkit Generator, etc.) and they allow projects to be carried forward over time without causing you to lose optimizations and investments made during the project’s prototype phase. The Yocto Project fosters community adoption of this open source technology allowing its users to focus on their specific product features and development.
